Cimy User Extra Fields

WordPress is becoming more than ever a tool to open blog/websites and CMSs in an easier way. Users are increasing day by day; one of the limits however is the restricted and predefined fields that are available in the registered users profile: it is difficult for example to ask for the acceptance of "Terms and Conditions of Use" or "Permission to use personal data".

The plug-in adds two new menu voices in the admin for the administrator and two for users.

Two new menus are:

WordPress and WordPress MultiSite per-blog registration:

1. "Users -> Users Extended" - lets you show users lists with the new fields that are created 2. "Settings -> Cimy User Extra Fields" - lets administrators add as many new fields as are needed to the users' profile, giving the possibility to set some interesting rules.

Wordpress MultiSite unique registration:

1. "Network Admin -> Users Extended" - lets you show users lists with the new fields that are created 2. "Network Admin -> Cimy User Extra Fields" - lets administrators add as many new fields as are needed to the users' profile, giving the possibility to set some interesting rules.
